Seinfeld’s love affair with Australian audiences dates back to his first tour of the country in 1998, and he is thrilled to be returning.

“I have loved Australia since my first tour there in 1998, and I cannot wait to come back to visit some of the greatest comedy fans in the world,” the comedian shared.

The tour will see Seinfeld performing in major cities across Australia, including Perth, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, and Melbourne. In Brisbane, he is scheduled to take the stage at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Wednesday, 19 June 2024.

Seinfeld’s rise to fame is the stuff of legend. After his breakout appearance on “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” in 1981, he teamed up with fellow comedian Larry David to create the iconic sitcom “Seinfeld.” The show, which ran for nine seasons on NBC, went on to win numerous Emmy, Golden Globe, and People’s Choice awards, and was named the greatest television show of all time by TV Guide in 2009 and the best sitcom ever in a 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll in 2012.

Since the conclusion of “Seinfeld,” the legendary comedian has remained active in the entertainment industry, with a diverse portfolio of projects.

His latest Emmy-nominated Netflix specials, “Jerry Before Seinfeld” and “23 Hours to Kill,” have been highly acclaimed, whilst his web series “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” has become a must-watch for comedy fans.

In addition to his acclaimed television work, Seinfeld has also starred in, written, and produced movies, directed and produced a Broadway hit, and authored three best-selling books, as well as a children’s book. He is also set to star in the upcoming comedy film “Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story,” which he directed, co-wrote, and produced.

How Australia Set the Stage for Jonas Brothers’ Reunion and ‘The Tour’

Who would have thought that Australia, a country the Jonas Brothers have never even performed in, once played an important role in the band getting back together, after their abrupt split in 2013? The stage is now set for ‘The Tour,’ beginning with a much-awaited show at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.

Read: Matchbox Twenty Set to Rock Brisbane Again After 12 Years

The Jonas Brothers—Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Kevin Jonas— are one of the 21st century’s commercial successes. Having sold well over 20 million albums so far, they have received two Grammy Award nominations, delivered 26 Billboard Hot 100 hit songs and three consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard 200, and dominated the ether with billions of streams.

In a 2019 interview, the beloved 2000s boy band revealed there connection with Australia, when they revealed that it was Joe Jonas’ stint living Down Under that helped them get back together.

Whilst in Australia in 2018, Joe Jonas was living in Sydney and soaking up the Bondi Beach lifestyle whilst being a coach on The Voice Australia.

During this transitional time in his life, he reconnected with oldest brother Kevin to have a heart-to-heart about the state of their relationship and the possibility of reviving the Jonas Brothers.

As Joe revealed in one interview, they had a conversation, as brothers, to start doing it again. Though the brothers had grown apart for around six years and wanted to pursue solo careers, they realised what they could accomplish together.

The country holds a special place in the Jonas Brothers’ journey, since it was the backdrop for the fateful brotherly conversation that led the group to announce their long-awaited reunion that same year.

The Jonas Brothers formed in 2005 and became an international sensation in just a couple of years. But the stresses of fame, creative differences, and a demanding schedule led them to suddenly cancel their 2013 tour and announce the band’s breakup.

However, Australia brought them back together at just the right time. Joe’s stint on The Voice allowed him to take a break and gain perspective. A simple brotherly chat made them realise what they had missed over the past years.

Now, over ten years since they stunned fans by calling it quits then reuniting years later, the Jonas Brothers have shown that their bond is an unbreakable force. They embarked on an exciting new chapter in 2023 with the release of The Album, their sixth studio album as a trio.

To celebrate this latest music and their renewed brotherhood, the Jonas Brothers have now embarked on “The Tour” in support of the album.

With upcoming stops across North America, Europe, and their first ever concerts in Australia and New Zealand, the brothers are proving that this comeback is no short-lived nostalgia act, they are here to stay this time.

Matchbox Twenty Set to Rock Brisbane Again After 12 Years

Matchbox Twenty is coming back to Brisbane later this month bearing new gifts – their first album in over a decade.

Read: Magician Extraordinaire from Bridgeman Downs Headlines Theatre of Magic in New Home

The band’s highly-anticipated fifth studio album “Where The Light Goes” dropped last May, giving fans 11 years worth of pent-up Matchbox melodies and lead singer Rob Thomas’ signature vocals.

To celebrate the new album, Matchbox Twenty is embarking on a 10-date sold-out Australian tour in 2024. Brisbane is a lucky stop, with the band returning to rock out the Brisbane Entertainment Centre 12 years after their last visit.

Back in 2012, the band performed in Brisbane as part of their massive North Tour. The American pop rock band visited the city on October 27 and 28 during the tour’s fifth leg, which spanned four continents over 60 shows and raked in $4.9 million from just 40 of those performances. Matchbox Twenty’s 2012 North Tour marked a triumphant journey across Australia, the Americas, Europe and Asia over the course of a year.

Now, more than a decade later, the band is eager to return to the familiar Brisbane Entertainment Centre stage and reconnect with fans.

Setlist

Fans can expect to hear fresh tracks off “Where The Light Goes” mixed in with classics like “3AM” and “Back 2 Good.”

The setlist will also include “Bent,” the breakout first single from Matchbox Twenty’s multi-platinum album Mad Season. This powerful rock ballad became Matchbox Twenty’s biggest hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

In an interview, Thomas noted that “Bent” was his first intentional love song, centering on two flawed individuals who can’t fix each other’s problems but find a way to make the relationship work. Though their issues remain challenging, they get through it together.

Thomas teased that the new album captures the band’s upbeat, optimistic sound, avoiding any cynical or depressive tunes, given that they had just come out of a period of uncertainty over the last three years prior.

Joining them are special guests Goo Goo Dolls, who kicked off the shows with Matchbox Twenty earlier this month in Perth.

If the Perth show is any indication, Brisbane is in for an incredible night of rocking new tunes and matchbox classics. Thomas expressed his excitement to see fans’ faces again, saying it had been too long since their last Australian tour.
